Assignment 2 - Effect of Aperture on Objects and Composition

Aperture

Aperture is the amount of light that is let into the camera lens. The large the f/ value is, the less light is let in. This means that f/2 lets more light in than f/32. This means that when you focus on closer objects, a larger f/ value means that you will focus on the foreground and the background, and the smaller the value, the background will be extremely blurred.

This photo is taken with an f/18 aperture. Which is a mid point aperture. This means that the foreground here is slightly blurred, but still has distinguishable lines.

This photo was taken with an f/32 aperture. This means that the camera is taking in minimal light, meaning that it is focusing on everything in the image, making the foreground fully distinguishable.
This photo was taken at the aperture of f/2. This means that the photo is taking all the light in that is possible, and using it to focus on the two minivans, and completely obscuring the foreground with no focus at all, or minimal. This means that the lines now cannot be seen at all, and it almost fully blends into the background.


Print photos off and put them in sketchbook.

Assignment 3 : Still Life

Image
This is a still life photo that interests me as it uses the repetition of objects on a wood background to create a nice photo. The best ways to light still life is by using LED lights in a reflective case, or a reflective light box to light the objects you need to. This is a 3 point lighting setup with lights every visible side. This makes the colour of the object work very well and its able to be focused on. Still life lighting system, to light every direction of the object you want

The 8 Rules of Composition

Image
 Rule of thirds - using thirds of the screen to highlight focus points. Leading Lines - using lines as a main image focus. Cropping - Cropping an image to show detail, cutting out parts of an image. Deep Depth of Field - The entire background is visible, there is no field blur in the image. Horizon Line - Wide shots using a flat surface on the horizon to make and show an impact in the photo. Point of View - Photos taken from a human point of view or an interesting angled shot to create an interesting view and scale. Background control (Shallow Depth Of Field) - Controlling the focus of background or foreground to highlight upon an object -  Framing - using something natural to frame the main focus point of an image -

Futurism

Futurism is an avant-garde movement founded in 1909 by an Italian poet known as Filipino Marinetti. It is an art movement that focuses on the power and vitality of the machine and modern life. These art expressions usually revolved around painting or sculpture. The art style is when contemporary things in the world are stylised through photography to have a futuristic feel to them. For example, the shots would be long exposure, so that light trails in the image give the photo a futuristic touch, whilst being only a camera technique. Futurist photographers also make use of lines very frequently, for example, they would use more modern appearing buildings with flat lines.
